2023 Late Recruiting Cycle

Seems a little odd to target a 6’7 PF unless he’s a freak athlete who can block shots or lights-out 3 point shooter. Is he either?

What I remember about Jennings coming out of HS was that he was a super high energy, junkyard type frontcourt player. Good athlete but very raw and mixed in some incredible plays with some boneheaded ones.

Braxton Key?

Well Hou and WV have expressed interest. I can see how that type of player would interest them.

It’s interesting that Houston and WVU are two others mentioned as reaching out, I feel like he’d fit both of their play styles very well as teams that love to hit the offensive glass hard and like to have plus athletes at every position.

The thing to keep in mind with this transfer stuff is the actual recruiting takes a little while. Just because our season ends early doesn’t really speed things up. All that’s happening now is assistant coaches touch base with guys as they hit the portal. Anyone they might potentially have interest in, anything from oh yeah we’ll want him to maybe depending what happens with our guys, to a possible last resort.

Pretty sure I saw Eric Musselman reaching out to transfer portal entries midgame today.

He could’ve written a message on his chest. Lost opportunity

Rumor floating around is that in the handshake line Musselman has whispered “Offer’s on the table” to every opposing player, coach, and student manager Arkansas has played against so far in the tourney.

Weird we’d reach out to some of those other bigs and not Jarvis. Edit. NVM scored under 10 in his last 4 games

I didn’t see 3 point shooter in his description. I want guards who can shoot. That’s becoming more and more a non-negotiable with me.

Interesting. We were talking about this in the outside recruiting thread. Is you posting it here meaning we going for it?

Oh I don’t know anything. Just seems like someone that could be of interest given the history and all.

I always loved Withers. I always thought he picked the wrong school. I thought he would be like Key but a taller better shooter. That’s pretty much what he could be for us. I’m not sure if the fit is right because of Dunn. I’m sure Withers wants to start and get a lot of minutes.
